With the oil and gas sector in a bit of a tizzy due to slumping crude prices, oversupply, a strain on fracking companies, and its services sector scrambling to find new sources of income, the sector is perhaps the last one where investors would expect to see any gains.

Here’s the secret to DRIP’s success: It’s an ETF that shorts the market it follows. Indeed, it’s a leveraged ETF that seeks to meet a 300% inverse performance of the S&P Oil and Gas Exploration & Production Select Industry Index.

Playing the downside of the oil and gas industry on a leverage basis paid off handsomely for DRIP this year.

For those investors with the stomach for highly-leveraged ETF sector plays, DRIP is a good bet for 2016.
